Matter is about to launch, and it already looks very promising that the standard will establish itself in the long term and replace the older systems (especially the isolated solutions).
My question is: Which smart lights would you recommend for Matter?
Lights: complete lamps, bulbs, light strips, etc.
Matter mainly relies on the wireless standard Thread, but Wi-Fi and other wireless standards can also be integrated via bridges.
The largest and best-known provider is Philips Hue. However, Philips Hue has already announced that they will continue to use Zigbee and do not plan to incorporate Thread. Matter compatibility will be achieved through the Hue Bridge.
Which lamps would you recommend?
Would you use Philips Hue despite Zigbee and work with two wireless standards (Zigbee for the lamps and the rest with Thread)?
For light switches, I like the Eve Light Switch (wireless standard Thread). Alternatively, you could also use Friends of Hue switches or standard Zigbee light switches.

For us, there is only a wireless solution that is as future-proof as possible.

Or automate properly and use KNX.

I have heard of Matter before, but I don’t really think it will become widely adopted.
There are already too many working solutions available.
Well, smart home doesn’t necessarily mean KNX,
